iPods at Duke

Seems like Duke was happy with their iPod for students program this year. According to a Reuters article, they intend to continue the program next year, though not to all incoming first years -- only "to any student whose class uses them." Still not a bad deal!

According to the article:

"The iPods served as a springboard for broadening the use of technology at large in higher education. The project gained momentum through the year, with more than 600 first-year students enrolled in at least one course that used iPods.

Many of those courses were for music or a foreign language and students used the gizmos to record or receive audio files. They later began to use them for taking notes, conducting interviews, audio blogging or even for podcasting, a growing trend."
